Regina Street Team receives provincial funding [Video]

The future of the Regina Street Team has been ensured for a while longer.

The 15-member group relies on grants from groups like the Regina Downtown Business Improvement District. Now the province is chipping in with $205,000.

The Regina Street Team walks through downtown neighbourhoods, providing assistance to people living on the streets. Services include shelter placement and counselling.

“This group, with the meetings I’ve had and what I’ve seen, are already operating and doing the kind of work that the ministry’s looking for. This seemed like a natural fit,” Minister of Social Services Gene Makowsky said.

The team says the money will help them continue with the work that they do.
